Closes #17
When n >= 4, it is possible to get a negative keyword score returned. This is occurs when there are two or more stopwords in a row. This causes
sum_h < -1and so the denominator remains negative when calculatingself.hfor the composed word.This PR remedies this by treating a chain of stopwords as a single entity for calculating h. When a stopword is located, we calculate
prob_t1as before. Now,prob_t2is calculated using the final stopword in the chain. The loop then skips to the word following the chain.As all existing tests use n <= 3, their result remains unchanged. An additional test for n=4 is added in English using a portion of text from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing.
Furthermore, the CONTRIBUTING.rst is updated to reflect the use of poetry as a package manager.
